Happy Daylight Savings Time Day

Yep, it’s a beautiful Sunday afternoon here in Boulder, Colo. and it’s refreshing to know that spring is knocking on the proverbial door.

We’ve got a whole extra hour of sunshine to enjoy this evening. Finally.

However despite the joy of having that extended light of day, I’m still a bit grumpy from the mysterious evaporation of an hour of sleep last night.

I think I’m going to go take a nap.

I’ll be happy about having more sunshine tomorrow … when I’m less sleep deprived.

Conundrum

What do you do when your two dear friends are putzing around on their electronic devices, a MacBook (Mike) and an Android (Jessie) respectively, trying to figure out which movie we should rent?

Options:

1. Bite my fingernails? They’re already munched down to the quicks.

2. Pick the fuzz out from between my toes? Too conspicuous.

3. Blog …

Well, it was my only choice …

New Years Resolution 2011, Number 2

So I live in Boulder. That means that, theoretically, I’m a bad-ass athlete.

That (wrong) conclusion led me on a “Damn the torpedoes” kind of bike ride this morning where I pedaled into the blustery wind for three miles, despite the fact that those same howling gusts woke me up last night.

Bad decision.

But one that inspired my new resolution: I will not bike to school on days where the wind speed is 35 mph.

Here’s New Years Resolution 2011 Number 1.

Perhaps I’m especially tart because in the process of heading to school, I fell over because of said (fricking) wind. And I recently discovered that in the process of doing so, I managed to squish the orange I’d packed for a mid-morning snack.

I have orange juice in my backpack.

(It’s the pulpy kind.)

Deliciousness in a Tinfoil Wrapper

Have you tried Wrigley‘s Mint Chocolate Chip flavor of gum? It’s like a delightful dessert … which is undoubtedly why the line of tastes that also includes key lime pie and strawberry shortcake is called Dessert Delights.

Well, a good friend Travis recently saved the day when a group of us had gotten together for dinner, but no one had had the forethought to bring that final course: dessert. He busted out his pack of Mint Choco Chip and enlightened us all to the Dessert Delights. It was fabulous.

Now because I’m a half-a-stick of gum chewer–which is more because I chomp like a cow on its cud than in an effort to save money–I had a sliver of a piece left after our “dessert.” (Yes, I know gum is about a buck, but hey, use this Target coupon code for even more savings)

And I treasured it. Saved it. Was waiting for the perfect time to chew it when I could appreciate the subtle hints of chocolate, the sweet nuances of mint to their fullness.

That time was not this morning when I was working out, still had remnants of morning breath and couldn’t really taste anything because of the thick layer of phlegm still coating my throat as I recover from a cold.

Alas, this morning was when I ate it.
